I would always recommend an inspection, but as you are walking through a flipped property, take special note of the materials used, the quality of the workmanship, and details like moulding (does it match up or is it roughly pieced together?), mechanicals (do they turn on and off?), the roof (are shingles lifting or buckled?) and plumbing (does the water turn on and off? Leaking faucets?).
